      With tender and authentic feelings, the song's emotions ebb and flow with subtle beauty. Will Linley shares...

      “I wrote ‘First Love’ at the conclusion of my first breakup. The song encapsulates the thoughts that race through your mind after a relationship ends. I had to come to terms with the reality that my first girlfriend dealt with me figuring out how to love. I’ve realized that with everything you do for the first time, you don’t always get it right. Unfortunately, love is one of those things.”
